New "Yarder and Loader" in
Commission Near Elma.
LOADS 200,000 FEET DAILY
Does Work of Two Donkey Engines,
Besides Doing Away With
Big Crew of Men for
Loading of Cars.
ELMA. WmIi., June 21. (Special.) The
S. E. Slade Lumber Company, a San
Francisco corporation, of which W. R.
Mack is local representative, owning
large sawmills on Grays Harbor and ex
tensive logging -works near Elma. has In
stalled a new combination "yarder and
loader" that is attracting Jhe attention
of ail loggers In this county. The com
pany's camps have been visited by many
Interested in the logging business to
watch the working of this new inven
tion, and by all who have seen it handled
it is pronounced a great success. The
machine will easily yard up and load
2iV),X0 feet a day; it will pick up a ten
ton log and land it on the car at any
place as easily as a man would lay a
toothpick down.
One objection, however, that has been
noticed, but which will be remedied, Is
that certain parts of the machine" are
tfO light for this timber. The machine
Is the invention of an Eastern man and
was made in Duluth, Minn., in a region
where logs are much smaller than on tho
Paciilc CoaFt.
The loader cost $6500 and will pay for
itself in a short time. It takes tho place
of two donkey engines, a loader and a
yarder, with their crews. A piece of
track is built through a tract of timber
and all that is nccsesary is to cut the
trees down and into sawlogs; no roads
are necessary to swamp out to reach the
logs, but a steel cable an inch thick is
run out from the loader and fastened to
the log and the log is then drawn to the
machine and hoisted high in the air and
let down on the car. It is an exciting
Fight to witness the log come tearing
perhaps a half mile out from the track
in the woods through the brush and
treetops to the machine and then go fly
ing in the air and down in place on the
logging car.
In the opinion of well-known loggers
who have watched the machine work, it
is believed that it will come into general
use in the logging camps. This inven
tion, like many others that have been
made in the logging and lumbering in
dustry, is a great labor-saving one, be
, sides permitting rapid handling of logs.
' At the present rate of cutting and tho
means now at hand for cutting and man
ufacturing timber, the day of the logging
industry, which has been such a great
source of revenue to so many, will be
near at hand.
COMPLETING CONDENSERY
McMinnville to Have Plant Large as
Any in Country.
M'MINVILLH. Or., June 21. (Special.)
The main building of the Willamette
Valley Condensed Milk Company, now
under construction in this city, is nearly
completed. In dimensions it is 120x178
feet in the form of an "L," and 60 feet
wide, having a floor Bpace of 12,400 feet.
In addition a separate warehouse will
be built, 60x120 feet. The buildings oc
cupy a plat of four and a half acres of
ground which will be parked and beau
tified, and will be supplied with the
latest improved condensing , machinery,
operated by Leon Chevalley, who learned
his craft in Switzerland. The capacity
of the plant is normally 100,000 pounds
a day, producing 1,000 cases of cendensed
milk. This can be Increased to 1350
cases, consuming 135SO0 pounds of milk.
Already sufficient milk has been pledged
to run the Institution to its capacity,
and it is the intention of the company
to begin operations between September
13 and October. They will commence in
stalling the machinery in July. J. Woods
Smith, of Portland, is president, and Otto
Olston vice-president of the company,
which has a capitalization of $100,000.
These men are numbered with the heav
iest stockholders. Among the other Port
land stockholders are F. Joplin and F.
W. Isherwood. Many McMinnville peo
ple, Including both National banks, have
secured stock in this enterprise that
means so much for the prosperity of the
town and surrounding country. It has
been conservatively estimated that when
the plant is running to its full capacity
it will distribute from S0,000 to J75.000
every month to the farmers and others.
It will have from 50 to 60 people on the
payroll. Each can of McMinnville con
densed milk will bear the label "Butter
cup Brand." Construction of the build
' ing is under the supervision of J. G.
Dietrich, the architect who has built
nearly all of the condenseries in the
Northwest.
FL0URMILL FOR BAKER CITY
rromoter Well Pleased With Out
look for Grain Supply.
BAKER CITY, Or., June 21. (Special.)
H. W. Speer, who has just finished an
investigation of the conditions here re
garding establishing a flouring mill, an
nounces that he is pleased with the out
look and will probably make arrange
ments at an early date to remove from his
present location in Carml, 111., and estab
lish a modern mill at this point. Several'
times lately Baker has had men here
looking over the field with a view to en
gaging In the milling business, but it is
doubtful If the matter has ever been in
such good shape and the probability so
assured as now. .
Investigation shows that the wheat
acreage has Increased in this vicinity
remarkably in the last two years, and
since the dry lands have been farmed
and proved beyond a question that they
will produce wheat, it is thought there
can be an ample supply raised here to
keep a flouring mill busy. Business men
look on the mill project as one of great
est importance, and all encouragement
possible has been given Mr. Speer.

EUGENE TO SHIP CHERRIES
Fruit Association Prepares to Send
Dark Varieties East.
EUGENE, Or., June 21. (Special.)
The Lane County Fruit Growers' Asso
ciation is making extensive arrangements
to ship a considerable part of the cherry
crop from this county this year. An
expert packer from California will soon
be on the ground to take charge of the
work. 1
The cherries to be shipped will be prin
cipally the darker varieties, which are
so much In demand as fresh fruit in the
city stands the Bings. Lamberts and
Black Republicans. These varieties do
not bring as good prices for canning as
the Royal Anne, but they are more In
demand as fresh fruit.
The association thinks It can ship the
darker varieties east and realize as well
on thorn as they are able to do here on
the Royal Annes. If this experiment
Is successful it will give cherry raising,
which is already a big industry here, an
added stimulus. The association will also
ship Royal Annes and other varieties of
cherries, but particular attention this
year will- be given to the darker varie
ties. The Royal Annes of this section of the
state are said to be the best raised
anywhere and it is the hope of tne Lane
County Fruit Grower?' Association to get
the same recognition for other varieties
of cherries if possible, and build up a
special reputation for this section of Ore
gon as the great cherry country.
Good Crops in the Palouse.
COLFAX, Wash., June 21. (Special.)
Indications are this season will oe a
profitable one to farmers throughout this
section. Although tho Spring has been
extremely cold and rainy, the crops are in
splendid condition, but harvest will be
somewhat later than usual. Farmers are
not through plowing their Summer fallow
but expect to finish by the last of the
month.
Orchards are in fine condition owing
to the fact that the fruitraisors are taking
better care of the trees than formerly.
The fruit trees have been carefully
pruned and sprayed, and give promise
of an abundant yield.

As the Shoes Looked After the Journey.
An interesting fact in connection
with this walk was that but one pair
of shoes was worn by each of them on
the 2450-mile Journey, and that they
never ripped or lost a stitch during
the entire trip. The shoes worn in
this contest were made by the F.
Mayer Boot and Shoe Company, Mil
waukee, who have established a great
reputation throughout the country as
manufacturers of the highest type of
quality shoes; in consequence of which
the business of this house has had a
phenomenal growth. Nine thousand
pairs per day is the present capacity
of the Mayer factories.
As a matter of contrast, and to show
that there is a marked difference in
the quality of shoes, while Hay and
Jackson completed their 24i0-mile trip
in a single pair of shoes that were
practically intact at the end, J. T.
Sutherland, another pedestrian, who
had reached Ovuosso, Mich., on a coast-to-coast
walk.' had worn out thirty
one pairs of shoes on his journey up
to the time of his arrival in Owosso.

F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company are

work on this building was not started un
til after crest of high-priced labor and

saving of several thousand dollars to the
taxpayers, and the building will be erect

at first contemplated.
At the request of the County Court the
commercial organizations have appointed
a committee of three business men to

Pitcher Evans Strikes Out 15 Men
on Gibson Xine.
In a close and exciting contest the
police yesterday won their fifth straight
game of baseball by defeating the Gib
sons of the East Side on the grounds at
East Thirteenth and East Davis streets,
by a score of 7 to 5. Larry K. Evans,
twirler for the police, struck out 15 mem
bers of the Gibson nine and didn't allow
a single hit. Had Evans had better sup
port it Is probable that the police would
have scored a shutout. Clouts that should
have been fielded were allowed to go
by, with the result that the Gibsons man
aged to bring home almost as many men
as their opponents. In addition to his
star twirling, Evans brought in two of
the seven runs made by his team and al
lowed but two men to walk, although he
twice hit Left Fielder Walsh, of the Gib
sons. The line-ups follows: Police Evans,
pitcher; Burchell, catcher; Mallett, short
stop; Wendorf, first base; Hippner, sec

third base; Murray, right field, and Rob-

so far failed to lose a game this season.
